"Strategic Freezing" 👨‍🏫

✨ How to Apply Strategic Freezing ✨

1. Pick Your “Open” Bureau

Choose bureau with your highest score and fewest inquiries

Ex: TransUnion is clean, target lenders who pull TransUnion, freeze Experian and Equifax.

2. Freeze the Others

Go to bureau’s site and request a freeze

3. Apply in “Waves”

Once approved, switch the open bureau to another one (un/freezing)

4. Chain Multiple Approvals

Example plan:

Wave 1: Unfreeze TransUnion → Apply Navy Federal CU, Barclays, Synchrony cards.

Wave 2: Freeze TU, unfreeze Experian → Apply Amex, Chase, Citi.

Wave 3: Freeze EX, unfreeze Equifax → Apply Discover, US Bank, PNC.

💡 Extra Game Tips

Timing is key – do each “wave” in a single day so inquiries age together.

Soft-pull prequals – run these before you start to see who might approve without a hard pull.
